=TITLE URL::Find
=SUBTITLE A Perl 6 module to find all the URL's in a set of text.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
=para
By default it will match domain names
that use unicode characters such as http://правительство.рф. To only match ASCII domains use the
:ascii option. It will also find URL's that end in one of the restricted characters, so
`https://www.google.com, ` will pull out `https://www.google.com`. It will find all the URL's in a
text by default, or you can specify a maximum number with the :limit option. By default it will
only find http, https, ftp, git and ssh schemes, but you can specify `:any<1>` to match any schemes
with legal characters..

#| Matches only http https ftp git and ssh schemes by default. To match any scheme, use :any<1>
